AI imitates human intelligence and we can all relate to being a human, thus, we can all contribute to developing and building AI. By sharing your perspectives you might contribute to the development of unbiased AI. I believe being different is a skill. The value of bringing diversity into developer teams - especially those teams, who are working with AI - should not be underestimated.
